The required return on this stock is 11.5 percent. Calculate the value of one share of "Finance3000"'s stock. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer:

The stock will be correctly priced at $54.39

Explanation:

we solve for the value of the dividends using the gordon model:

[tex]\frac{D_1}{(r-g)} =PV\\\frac{D_0(1+g)}{(r-g)} =PV\\[/tex]

(10 x 1.05) / (0.115 - 0.05)  =  161.5384615

ow, as this is 10 years into the future we have to discount this for 10 years:

[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]  

Maturity  $161.5385

time  10.00 years

rate  0.11500 (we use the required rate of return)

[tex]\frac{161.538461538462}{(1 + 0.115)^{10} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   54.3910

The stock will be correctly priced at $54.39
